Hi all,
I have installed Arch yesterday and has a problem with X
I installed xfce4, xorg, xorg-xdm and config the /etc/inittab to run xdm at startup like which the wiki says. But anytime I press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to change to tty1, then I can't switch to GUI again, pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 doesn't have the Xfce appear again.
Anyone can give some reason ?
Thank you for reading and sorry for my enlish

You sure it's on tty7?
If so, try `chvt 7`.
Also: you don't need to apologize for your English.

'chvt 7' likes Ctrl+Alt+F7, it draws a black full screen (but I can switch to tty1 again by Ctrl+Alt+F1) Also when I logout from xfce, xdm doesn't "appear" - a black full screen
Thank you anyway. Other suggestion ?

In my system X currently tends to mysteriously switch from tty7 (Ctrl+Alt+7) to tty8 (Ctrl+Alt+8) every now and then.
It is not quite clear why it does so. But in case it is not avalaible in tty7 (i.e. full black screen only) any more you may want to try tty8 instead.

To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.

Same here.

I have tried to switch to tty8, it doesn't work for me, same phenomenon.

I have got the opposite problem. I cannot open a TTY 1-6 from my GUI. Ctrl-ALt-F1 to F6 brings up a black screen. And F7 takes me back to my GUI.
Sorry if I am screwing up the topic....but felt it was vaguely related.
